I thought that blenders \u2014 and most kitchen appliances, for that matter \u2014 were meant to look utilitarian, made to match the aesthetic of its surrounds. But then I look at something like the Ninja BlendBoss, and it feels like everything I know is wrong.<\/p>\n
Announced recently by the kitchen appliance brand, the BlendBoss (stylised by Ninja as \u2018BlendBOSS\u2019) looks like a reimagining of the pop art movement of the 1950s. With bold colours and standout designs, I\u2019d struggle to identify it as a blender if I didn\u2019t already know what it was.<\/p>\n
Looks are relatively minor in this instance, though. To quote a viral online series from some years ago: Will it blend?<\/a> Billed as a ready-to-go tumbler and blender in one, the BlendBoss includes a 760mL cup that you grab out of the appliance and drink directly from.<\/p>\n Ninja says the BlendBoss\u2019 1,110W motor and stainless steel blades are enough to slice through ice, frozen fruit, and various fresh produce. To try to take the guesswork out of your liquified diet, the blender has three automated programs for smoothies, crushing, and blending.<\/p>\n Oh, and it\u2019s dishwasher safe, two words I consider among the most beautiful of the entire English language when combined. Apparently, the BlendBoss also has a \u201cleakproof\u201d cap, preventing any liquid spillages. I\u2019ve been burned by leakproof bottle claims before<\/a>, so consider me cautiously optimistic.<\/p>\n
